Restoring Tribal Economies
In an article by Terry Anderson, Wendy Purnell published in the Hover Institute Journal, December 20, 2017. A quote follows:
"Colonial-era policies and paternalistic attitudes continue to restrict economic activity on reservations and most indigenous economies remain dependent on the federal government. Government programs, however, have done little to alleviate the poverty and social ills prevalent on reservations. Indigenous peoples are thus locked in a type of colonial bondage that stifles their integration into modern economies. "
